Why Did I Read? I’ve been meaning to read this for so long! My Secret Sister got it for me and I read it with Racquel and Betty! My Thoughts: This is everything I love about fantasy! There are different kingdoms and there are things called Graces that people can be born with. You can be Graced with an extraordinary ability to cook, or to fight, or to sew.

It’s quieter and focuses a lot on characterization […]
Perfection. Utter perfection. How was Ruin and Rising so brilliantly perfect?? Did I just use the word perfect three times in three sentences? Sorry not sorry. I have to admit, I started this with a twinge of nervousness. Series enders are tricky and I have been disappointed by trilogy enders before! I didn’t need to worry because I adored this! First of all, the Grisha world with its Russian themes is freaking awesome. The world building is astounding, as I’m […]
